100 Roubles Nizhny Novgorod Aircraft Plant

Russian factory scrip on polymer is unusual enough, but this note comes from a genuinely significant industrial issuer: the Sokol plant in Nizhny Novgorod has produced MiG fighters since the Soviet period and remained one of Russia's primary combat aircraft manufacturers into the post-Soviet decades. The scrip was almost certainly issued for internal canteen or enterprise store use — a practice that quietly persisted in Russian heavy industry well after the Soviet collapse, particularly in closed or semi-closed defense enterprises where the workforce was large and geographically concentrated.

Polymer substrate for factory scrip at this denomination is rare; most Russian enterprise notes of the 2000s used paper.
